    Regional economic disparities in Canada have persisted over thirty years, with no significant convergence observed. Migration patterns are influenced by income and employment differences between provinces and internationally.

    Area of Science:

    • Economics
    • Regional Economics
    • Canadian Economy

    Background:

    • Assessing the evolution of regional economic disparities in Canada over the last three decades.
    • Examining the robustness of previous findings on convergence in provincial per capita GDP levels and growth rates.
    • Investigating the impact of regional economic factors on migration patterns.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine if regional disparities in Canada have changed significantly over the past thirty years.
    • To rigorously test earlier conclusions about economic convergence among Canadian provinces.
    • To quantify the influence of income and employment differentials on interprovincial and international migration.

    Main Methods:

    • Econometric analysis of provincial per capita GDP data over a thirty-year period.

  • Robustness checks on existing convergence studies.
  • Statistical modeling to assess the determinants of migration flows based on regional economic indicators.

    • Main Results:

    • Evidence suggests that regional disparities in Canada have not significantly converged over the past thirty years.
    • Earlier findings of convergence are not robust under re-examination.
    • Regional differences in income and employment levels demonstrably influence both interprovincial and international migration.

    Conclusions:

    • Persistent regional economic disparities indicate a lack of convergence in Canada.
    • Migration decisions are significantly shaped by economic incentives and opportunities across regions.
    • Policy implications may be needed to address ongoing regional economic inequalities.
